Hello Wayne,
In my webapp (thanks to your company’s excellent tool) I store the app settings in the Safari database.
Unfortunately, with the iOS upgrades – this database is deleted…causing me a lot of extra work.
I was thinking maybe a native app might be the solution.
A few questions:
– Will the native app give me a storage API that will not be cleared out during ios upgrades. e.g. direct access to the file system.
– Will I be able to host the app on my website. Will users be able to download directly to their phones. I don’t want it on the app market.
– I assume I will be able to convert to a native app with minimal source changes.
Thanks.
Bummer to hear about apple ios upgrades can dork localstorage…

Checking into this. I believe yes but will require using a different storage model.

No, the appstore is the only distribution mechanism for general consumer apps for non-jail broken iOS devices.

I believe the main changes will be with data storage.
